With Charlotte Flair versus Ronda Rousey seemingly booked for the WWE Smackdown Women's Championship match on either of the two nights, the market for that title now lists only those two participants.
This year's Royal Rumble winner - Ronda Rousey - is now a 1/4 favourite to be holding the strap when all is said and done. When last made available, Rousey's price had reduced from 5/1 into 9/2.
Charlotte Flair - on the other hand - has moved out from her previous price of 2/1 to 5/2.
Becky Lynch's challenger, for the WWE Raw Women's Championship, is set to be made clear next Saturday at the Elimination Chamber show.
Bianca Belair, who is - as of the time of writing - a favourite to win the Elimination Chamber match to qualify as Lynch's WrestleMania opponent, has had a price dip from 33/20 into 19/20 since the market's latest refresh.
The current champ is now 2/1, from 33/20, to be holding the strap at the conclusion of Mania. Her challenger for next Saturday's show in Saudi Arabia - Lita - is 12/1 to leave Dallas as Raw Women's Champion. Her price was previously 40/1.
Asuka, who is one of the names people are speculating as the potential mystery participant in the women's Elimination Chamber match, has been reinserted at 13/5. She was 3/1 when the market was initially published in November.
Rhea Ripley, who has been announced for the Elimination Chamber match, is now 6/1 from 15/1, Liv Morgan - another confirmed participant for next weekend's chamber contest - is 15s from 17/1.
Bayley, who hasn't wrestled since last year following an injury, is 9/1. When I last checked in, she was priced 50/1.
The title will be defended by Bobby Lashley inside the Elimination Chamber next weekend. If we're to fast forward to WrestleMania, however, I think it's clearly going to be one of two wrestlers who could walk out of the show with the strap: Brock Lesnar or Roman Reigns.
WWE has been teasing that the Roman Reigns versus Brock Lesnar Mania match could be title versus title. I am sure that is what we're going to get.
As it stands, Lesnar is a 5/4 favourite to be the champion at the conclusion of Mania. Reigns - on the other hand - is 2/1. Both selections were 43/20 before this week.
If it is title versus title, I think Reigns has to go over just because he's the main star in the company for what will be hyped as a major title match on a show when the most eyeballs will be watching.
As for the Universal Title market, Reigns is a 9/10 second-favourite to still be in possession of the strap. Lesnar is 3/4 while Goldberg - who has returned to the betting because he's challenging Reigns next weekend - is 12/1. He was 15/1 when the market was first priced up last year.
